This is from a trip to Yellowstone. It was after driving around in Yellowstone in Eco mode...

Attachment 1619896

This was overall on a trip to Texas and back. I used Eco on the freeway and mostly Sport in town...

I'll get pics of mine from LA to Reno. It's a 550i so I don't expect anything impressive, but my M6 gets about 150 miles on a single fillup, so anything is better than that lol

Mine says 400 miles on full tank but I've never really tracked it either.

Before Costco went Top Tier I would get about 50 miles less per tank vs. Shell/Chevron/76. Believe it or not, I also noticed a difference when The People's Republik went from 92 octane to 91.

I am getting just about 300 miles per tank on my 535i but the OBC says 400+ every time I fill up.

OP, that range thing you showed is not accurate. the best way to calculate is by resetting your trip meter and driving to empty. next time you refuel, you will know how much fuel you used for the range driven.

calculated like this, I get 430 (700KM) miles per 65L of fuel (17 US gallon)

not bad for an older engine I would say. I have the n52 NA straight 6. this fuel economy is achieved from mostly city driving (roughly 60-70%) and generally pretty aggressive on the throttle.

I think that's exactly the point.

I've seen at most 600 miles, but after a long, efficient trip. No way I'd ever get that though.
